Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based collaborative perception enables multiple agents to share complementary perceptual information, overcoming limitations such as occlusion and limited sensing range. Communication efficiency is a critical bottleneck, as UAVs operate under stringent bandwidth and computational constraints. However, existing spatial selection methods focus predominantly on foreground regions to reduce missed detections, neglecting perceptually ambiguous regions and leaving false detections unresolved. We propose UCP, an uncertainty-driven framework that characterizes collaborative value through observational uncertainty, identifying sensor-limited regions, and discriminative uncertainty, capturing model-level ambiguity near the decision boundary. These estimates drive spatial request and supply maps for efficient inter-agent communication, and the received messages are aggregated via U-Fusion, an uncertainty-guided cross-attention module. Experiments on three benchmarks across 3D object detection and trajectory prediction demonstrate a superior performance-bandwidth trade-off with high interpretability and strong generalizability.
Building damage assessment (BDA) from very-high-resolution imagery supports disaster response, and deep models now achieve high overall accuracy on public benchmarks. Because damage is spatially clustered, most buildings share the damage level of their neighbours, so overall scores are dominated by such buildings, whereas damaged buildings among intact ones are rare and easily overlooked. A high overall score therefore cannot tell whether a model judges the building itself or relies on its neighbourhood as a shortcut, and this study tests which of the two current models do. We stratify buildings by their agreement with their neighbours, move buildings into new neighbourhoods with their pixels unchanged, and diagnose nine models covering the main paradigms of BDA. All models miss a third to half of the isolated damaged buildings, and in non-flood events they call 73--87% of intact buildings damaged once these are moved into a damaged neighbourhood. We propose a building-evidence plug-in that adds two experts to an existing model without retraining it. One expert sees only the building, and the other sees its surroundings but is trained with seamlessly swapped neighbourhoods so that it learns not to trust them. With each of the nine models, the plug-in maintains or improves overall accuracy, reduces errors on buildings that disagree with their neighbours by 8--18%, and cuts by 40--69% the intact buildings that a damaged neighbourhood turns into damaged ones. It also raises the detection of synthetic isolated damage from 1--6% to 13--39% and carries over to optical--SAR data and to an unseen earthquake. High overall scores thus conceal a systematic reliance on the neighbourhood, which building-level evidence reduces at low cost.

While multimodal large language models have demonstrated impressive short-term reasoning, they struggle with long-horizon video understanding due to limited context windows and static memory mechanisms that fail to mirror human cognitive efficiency. Existing paradigms typically fall into two extremes: vision-centric methods that incur high latency and redundancy through dense visual accumulation, or text-centric approaches that suffer from detail loss and hallucination via aggressive captioning. To bridge this gap, we propose MM-Mem, a pyramidal multimodal memory architecture grounded in Fuzzy-Trace Theory. MM-Mem structures memory hierarchically into a Sensory Buffer, Episodic Stream, and Symbolic Schema, enabling the progressive distillation of fine-grained perceptual traces (verbatim) into high-level semantic schemas (gist).Furthermore, to govern the dynamic construction of memory, we derive a Semantic Information Bottleneck objective and introduce SIB-GRPO to optimize the trade-off between memory compression and task-relevant information retention.In inference, we design an entropy-driven top-down memory retrieval strategy.Extensive experiments across 4 benchmarks confirm that MM-Mem achieves state-of-the-art performance on both offline and streaming tasks, demonstrating robust generalization and validating the effectiveness of cognition-inspired memory organization.Code and associated configurations are publicly available at ‘https://github.com/EliSpectre/MM-Mem‘.
